EnKash Launches India's First Meal Card with UPI Payment Capability
EnKash has launched India's first meal card enabling UPI payments, allowing employees to pay directly from their meal allowance by scanning UPI QR codes at food and grocery merchants. This innovation integrates UPI's convenience with RuPay's wide acceptance and offers tax-efficient benefits under revised income tax rules, permitting up to ₹1,05,600 annually as a tax-free meal benefit. Employers can centrally manage card issuance, loading, spending controls, and transaction tracking, enhancing inclusivity and ease for HR teams and employees.
